Chapter 510: Halletta Station
Hao Ren and his entourage happily finished their grave (correct), and they all said that it was a novel and interesting experience - at least Lily and Nangong May said that it was interesting. Then Hao Ren looked at the solemn obsidian monuments and chattered to Ovla: "Actually, I don't think it is appropriate to put the monuments of a few of us together with the people next to us. ”
"But this is already the highest form of commemoration allowed by tradition, second only to the ...... of the pope and the king."
"I didn't mean that," Hao Ren pointed to the stone tablets with the busts of the figures next to him, the closest to him was the sculpture of the Rector of Gertton, "these are the real heroes who died in battle in the Beinz region, and they deserve this honor, but a few of us ...... A few of us are still alive and well, and I don't think I deserve to be on a par with them. It makes me feel a little ...... I'm sorry people. ”
Ovra looked at Hao Ren in surprise, and was stunned for a long time before revealing a strange smile: "I really didn't expect you to say this, people like you are rare." Isn't it good to be praised by the world? ”
"I don't lack this," Hao Ren shrugged, "I just feel weird about false propaganda." ”
"You've saved a lot of people, even the world, and maybe you feel like it's a job you should have, and it's a small thing for you, but those who survived can't think like that, everyone has to be grateful," Opra smiled, "It's not even about you, it's about those of us who survived." And anyway...... Everyone must learn to commemorate heroes, and what we commemorate is not the truth of heroes, but the image of heroes. ”
Hao Ren pouted. glanced at Lily and Vivian, who were squatting side by side on the ground to burn paper for themselves: "Although the image of the heroes is not good. ”
Avra was slightly stunned and turned her head stiffly: "Let's not delay here for too long. There are new worshippers coming in. ”
A small group of citizens in brown shawls came from behind, and they glanced at Hao Ren and the others curiously. Then he put the flowers in his hand in front of the monument to the diocese of Gerton and Nangong May, bowed his head and prayed silently. A little boy curiously tugged at the clothes of a priest next to him: "Sir, sir, have these people gone to the goddess?" ”
"Yes, they have been summoned by the goddess to enjoy eternal peace in heaven," the priest who led the group bent down and pointed to the sculpture of Hao Ren, "These are heroes. Although there are no bones left in the battle against the evil gods, their spirits are far greater than flesh. Body Immortal ......"
Hao Ren dragged Lily and Vivian up with a green face: "Let's go quickly, I should be depressed if I stay for a while." ”
The group returned to Betsy's manor, where servants appointed by the royal family were cleaning the promenade in front of the main house. Ovra nodded to Betsy: "These servants are directly supported by the royal family, and in addition, your fief and various benefits as a viscount will also be taken care of by someone for you, basically you just need to sit and enjoy." His Majesty the King knows your situation, being an orthodox nobleman is a troublesome thing, and you probably won't be able to get used to it for a long time, so leave it to the royal family to assign to your butlers and advisors. If you have a situation, you can consult them directly. Or come to me – I'd love to talk to my peers, but only if I have the time. ”
Betsy didn't react when she heard the first few sentences, but when she heard the latter sentence, she immediately jumped up happily: "Really?!" Eh, Lord Ofra, how embarrassing is that, how can I ...... when you have a lot of opportunities? Are you free today? Are you free tomorrow? Will you be free the day after tomorrow? Or ......"
Hao Ren dragged away the brain-dead fan of this female marshal who had a little problem with her sexual orientation: "You can stop the meeting." If you have this effort, you might as well read the pamphlet of aristocratic etiquette that has been handed to you, I have heard that you will have to learn how to attend the banquets of high society within a month, as you are now. It's okay to hang it for you for a year. At a royal banquet, you can't squat on a chair with a barrel of ale in your hand as if you were in a tavern......"
Becky finally calmed down when she heard this question that made her head hurt the most, and she thought about it with a cold sweat. He turned his head to look at his new manor and the servants in their imposing double-breasted long uniforms, and touched his hair embarrassedly: "Why do I feel so unrealistic?" ”
"It's all true." Ovra smiled, "Learn to adapt to this kind of life, it's not easy to change from a mercenary to a nobleman, you have to get rid of a lot of 'faults', and the stinky and hard rules of those big people are piled up, and they are definitely not much lighter than the pressure on you to challenge the 'evil god'." ”
Betsy stuck out her tongue and looked at Hao Ren muttering: "My achievement in challenging the evil god is still the ...... of people who have opened a large belt brush."
Opra didn't understand, but smiled, raised her hand and snapped her fingers, and one of the servants immediately stepped forward and handed her the reins of the horse: "Then I'll go back first." Enjoy your new home today, and then as agreed, tomorrow Archbishop Auburn and I will come to you, and we will go to the seal of the firstborn. ”
After Ophra finished speaking, she turned the horse's head and walked away neatly, leaving Betsy looking at the back of the female marshal with a look: "It's so handsome...... No, I'll have to go back and dress up, and I won't be able to wear this old dress when I meet with Lord Oprah tomorrow. ”
"It's tomorrow," Hao Ren patted Betsy on the shoulder, telling the nymphomaniac to hurry back to his soul, "before that...... Go to the basement, find a safe place, and let's set up the teleporter. ”
The kingdom of Horleta occupies the most fertile land on the continent and has a long history of farming, and the people of this land have long been adept at storing large quantities of food under their houses, a habit that has influenced the kingdom's construction techniques, and the natives always have large and well-conceived basements underneath their houses. Becky's new estate is a typical Halletta mansion, with a full two basements below the ornate three-story main house.
It's almost a small underground fortress.
Becky was still very unfamiliar with her new home, and finally found her way with the guidance of her attendants. The high-ranking attendant, with his short pale gray hair and a calm and sophisticated temperament, respectfully led everyone to the entrance of the basement, apparently wanting to make a good impression on his new master: "Mistress, this is the cellar down here. I'll show you the way......"
Betsy was stunned for a moment before she realized that the "hostess" was talking about herself, and hurriedly waved her hand: "No, no, we have to go to do private business." Oh yes, by the way, the bottom of the basement will be a forbidden place in the future, so you can't go down casually without me. ”
The high-ranking attendant nodded and retreated, and when Betsy and the others walked away, they couldn't help but twitch and twitched: "Mistress, hostess, I'm also a rich man from today!" There are no regrets in this life! ”
"Alright, look at your little bit of interest." Nangong May couldn't look past her appearance, so she snorted and walked down.
The structure of the underground was simple, and soon Hao Ren and his party arrived at the lowest cellar. Becky was stunned when she arrived, staring in amazement at the glass bottles on the wooden shelves and the oak barrels in the corners, and the silver glender-necked urns on the stone tables, which reflected mesmerizing colors in the bright glow of the magical glowstones, and the whole cellar was full of wine.
This is also part of the reward.
Betsy sniffled vigorously: "Hiss...... This...... This is the kingdom of heaven! I've never seen so much good wine in my life! I'm going to ...... Halletta Mead! The fiery wine produced in the province of Culler is still a collector's edition in a crystal bottle! Look at this, a whole barrel of southern barley wine, a whole barrel! It's enough to buy the whole tavern I frequent, and the silver urns of Imperial edelweiss, and only the mayor's house has two small bottles in the whole town of Rumbert, and I have six large jars here! Hiss ......"
Betsy happily lay down on the ground, sniffling vigorously, and her voice seemed to float from the other side of the Santu River: "This is really a good place, okay, I can die here." ”
Hao Ren took out the teleportation device from his personal space, and while directing the self-discipline machinery to install it in the corner of the wine cellar, he looked up at Betsy: "I don't see that you are still an alcoholic." ”
"Nonsense, can you leave this thing as a mercenary, the wine is strong and intimidating, the first time I received the task of clearing out the bandits, I relied on half a catty of dwarf soju to successfully beat the two sentries at the intersection."
Lily didn't feel right when she heard it: "Why did you beat the sentry down?" Aren't you fighting bandits? ”
"Damn, I've hit the wrong person when I've drunk high," Betsy rolled over with a grunt, "I've been locked up for two months for this." ”
"Okay, don't shake your glorious history," Hao Ren clapped his hands, "The teleportation device is installed, and from now on, you will be the Space-Time Authority's teleportation station in Holletta, and the default direct route is to Alamanda City on the planet Tanagus." Optimistic about this thing, of course, if you don't look at it well, it doesn't have much impact, the teleporter is encrypted, and others can't use it. ”
Betsy looked at the silver-white device that was shimmering, and her excitement finally faded, and she sighed: "Oh, yes, you have to go back to Earth later, so leave me here to watch the show." (To be continued......)
